Dr. Anton Sevarius

Dr. Anton Sevarius is a noted geneticist, employed by the various enemies of the gargoyles to assist them in their schemes.

History

Sevarius was originally in the employ of Halcyon Renard, but Xanatos lured him into his service. ("Outfoxed") (Considering the fact that Xanatos was far more ready to tolerate, and even request, the sort of amoral experiments that Sevarius busies himself with than Renard would have been, it is doubtful that this was a particularly difficult achievement.) He became the head of Gen-U-Tech Systems, the genetic engineering division of Xanatos Enterprises.

Xanatos put Sevarius to work on two gargoyle-related projects. The first of these was to mutate some humans into gargoyle-like creatures, for Xanatos to use as henchmen in the event that he was unable to recruit Goliath and his clan to his cause. ("Metamorphosis") Sevarius successfully mutated Derek Maza, Maggie Reed, and the humans now known as Claw and Fang, but they afterwards decided to go their own way and not serve Xanatos. Goliath temporarily kidnapped Sevarius in the hopes of forcing him to provide a cure for the Mutates, but released him after Elisa brought him to his senses. ("The Cage")

The second project was to clone Goliath. Sevarius succeeded at this, creating Thailog. However, Thailog proceeded to trick Sevarius into "kidnapping" him and hold him for ransom from Xanatos, then tried to kill Xanatos, Sevarius, and Goliath alike after making off with the ransom money. However, Elisa managed to rescue Thailog's three "fathers", including Sevarius. ("Double Jeopardy")

Later on, Sevarius went to Loch Ness to capture the Loch Ness Monster and use its genes as a basis for more breeding experiments (presumably on Xanatos' behest, since the Xanatos Goon Squad accompanied him there). During that time, he encountered Angela and discovered that she was really Goliath and Demona's biological daughter, revealing this information to her. Goliath and his companions rescued the Loch Ness Monster from Sevarius, who, however escaped and eventually returned to New York. ("Monsters")

There, he entered the employ of Demona and Thailog at Nightstone Unlimited, and created the clones of Hudson and the trio for them. ("The Reckoning") (He also secretly created Delilah at Thailog's request, without informing Demona.) During this time, he informed Demona that Angela was her biological daughter.

After the failure of Demona and Thailog's attempt to destroy the clan, Sevarius remained a Nightstone Unlimited employee, and developed the CV-1000 Carrier Virus for Demona (presumably without knowing what purpose she intended to use it for). ("Hunter's Moon" Part Two)

Characteristics

Sevarius is noted not only for his considerable expertise in genetic matters and utter amorality and unscrupulousness, but also for being an utter ham. He eagerly takes on the role of the stereotypical mad scientist, reveling in its clichés with considerable gusto.
